I wanted to have a little gauge pod with two to three gauges located somewhere in my car. I either want to put it under the middle air vents or above the radio/climate stack. Can anybody post some pics so I get a better idea of how this might look?

Surely someone has done this before...

 

 

I was thnking of doing somthing similar, I was going to try buying the Mustang guage panel, which replaces the clock on the newer mustangs, and just fabricate a way to make it fit on the underside of the vents. You could try that, if you are looking for a three guage pod, they have one that goes on the dash of the Dodge rams, that might work too ??? I think they are made by autometer ???

 

That would work, Apeiron... I like the way they're slanted towards the driver. However, I am looking for something with more of a "flush" look... about how deep is that gauge assembly?

 

Have you thought about the A-Pillar pods sold through Summit and Jegs?

The pod comes out even with the factory instrument panel, the perspective is kind of skewed in that picture, these might be better:

 

How about this location? It's probably as integrated into the car as you can get it:

In my car, I have three digital air temperature gauges:

1) Custom airbox on top of my plenum,
2) In the air stream before the intercooler, &
3) In the air stream after the intercooler.

And no smoking allowed in my car!

I was looking at the A-pillar gauge assemblies, but I don't really like them. Either of those other two ideas may work for me... does anybody know if they make gauges as small as the stock fuel/temperature/voltage gauges? If so, I could put those almost anywhere.

 

Changed my mind... I looked a little more at the A-pillar gauge assemblies and they don't look so bad. Anyone have pics of those in a Camaro so I can compare? Thanks.

 

Does anyone know if you can get those pillar things for a right hand drive car?
Since I live in Australia....I don't want to be looking on the other side heh
